It features an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for course content creation, seamless integration with third-party tools, a mobile-first design for optimized access on all devices, advanced predictive analytics for insights into student performance, and robust accessibility features to accommodate diverse learner needs.
A learning management system (LMS) is software that helps educators create, deliver, and manage educational content, track student progress, and facilitate communication in online, blended, or in-person learning environments.
DEN@Viterbi has utilized Brightspace for the past decade, ensuring a robust and effective learning experience. With USC's transition from Blackboard to Brightspace beginning with Summer 2024 courses, our office is fully equipped and prepared to provide comprehensive support.
Currently DEN@Viterbi will continue to use its own instance of Brightspace for DEN courses.
